Thank you @mintimm.bsky.social for saying on @nicollewallace.bsky.social show that this brutality IS our history. Even after WWII, Eisenhower pulled Latinos off the street - many who were citizens - in the racist named Operation W--back.

What we are going through now is the sequel to “Atlas Shrugged.” In which the “parasites” fight back.

All the anti-genocide college students who didn't vote to teach Democrats a lesson sure taught us, didn't they. No more protests for us.

Come on, @barbmcquade.bsky.social it wasn’t a “gaping hole” in Charlie Kirk’s neck. The shooter hit his carotid artery, where blood pumps (and pulse can be felt). This made the blood gush. And the gun was a bolt action hunting rifle. Not a semiautomatic.

Agree. It's Katy Tur who should be fired. Not #MatthewDowd for speaking the truth. Violent rhetoric breeds violence. Stop being wooses, @msnbc.com

This week, I wrote about how public radio fails to see its own racism, as a microcosm of the bigger problem in media.

@slotkin.senate.gov also said the arguments STILL going on behind closed doors is whether or not Trump is a #threattodemocracy or whether Dems can wait him out. She thinks he's a threat. I am STUNNED at the stupidity of Dem leaders who think it's business as usual.

Elissa @slotkin.senate.gov on @msnbc.com Deadline Whitehouse proposes to fix housing by deregulation. Never mentions raising min. wage, much less that it needs to be $30/hour. Nothing on raising childcare tax credit. Nothing on more $$ to people. Reaganomics all the way. @nicollewallace.bsky.social

Got my Tee! @resistanceschool.bsky.social

I started listening to #SistersInLaw b/c I believed @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social @jillwine-banks.bsky.social @barbmcquade.bsky.social would show us how the rule of law would stop a dictator. I can’t listen anymore as they pretend the rule of law still exists. 1/

I don't know who I'm more disgusted at - the people who stayed home in 2024 or the people currently who think that the tipping point to fascism hasn't already happened. Both groups are delusional. And likely why 40 years of this creeping fascism has gone unchecked.

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE to @groundnews.bsky.social. I was told it was a good source for us to know what the right is seeing that the left is not and vice versa. It does that. But there is no effort to give context. And by repeating lies in a "both sides" stature, it's actually doing more harm. STOP.

I'm always confused that @maddow.msnbc.com lets her colleagues mispronounce her name. She says it with a long O.

I simultaneously am furious at all Jews and Palestinian supporters who fell for the propaganda that led so many people not to vote and the DEMOCRATS who were more concerned with what CEOs think than what people think. STAND FOR SOMETHING #DNC_Stand_UP

Come on Atlantic, stop both sidesing! Yes, it is bad to gerrymander. But it's not equally bad if Dems respond to cheating by fighting fire with fire. It's like a basketball coach putting six people on the court and the other coach saying, "I will just play by the rules."

Question for #SistersInLaw. Is there someone who is keeping track of all the decisions Trump has made that likely wouldn't have been made if SCOTUS had ruled differently on immunity? This would include rulings by SCOTUS on his EOs, but also things like allowing ICE to wear masks, tariffs, etc.

“Freedom” came to be defined as “unregulated greed.” Those who wanted to ensure government worked for the good of the people came to be defined as “snowflakes.”

This is from last week, but not much has changed.

This is why I love @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social @symonedsanders.bsky.social and @michaelsteele.bsky.social arguing while @aliciamenendez.bsky.social watches and tries not to roll her eyes.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Very frustrating to hear @chrislhayes.bsky.social talk about Musk as having "failed" b/c he didn't cut federal spending. Cutting spending was just his excuse. His smoke screen. Musk succeed in his mission: getting our data and sharing it with Putin. @allinwithchris.bsky.social

Oh for fuck’s sake @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com producers. Getting the correct state for a senator you’re interviewing is just basic. How the hell do people get hired for these positions? #Nevada

Great idea for @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social to put Indiana Republican Victoria Sparks on tonight to talk about Medicaid. It was good to hear. Don't fully agree with her, but she's not wrong about the waste in Medicaid and how Congress is broken. 1/

Chemistry is weird. I had no idea when these three were put together in an ungodly hour in the morning Pacific time that I would be taping and watching four hours of these three riffing on each other each weekend. Agreeing out loud. Laughing. Becoming addicted. Now they on at night. Love this.

Props to @symonedsanders.bsky.social for confronting Michigan AG Dana Nessel about the raids on pro-Palestinian homes. Nessel made a good case for harassment of Jewish people, but she was clearly defensive about the criticism. @msnbc.com

All of this. Danielle reporting what she heard. Thinky Parts posting the video right below it. Can states not let ICE in? How do we keep innocent citizens from being picked up?

The authoritarian takeover is no longer coming. It is here. This is a pretty sobering piece.

"I didn't think the guy who took infants and toddlers from their parents would take my Social Security!"

3/30/25, @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social showed Musk saying folks will get more $$$ from Social Security due to DOGE. @michaelsteele.bsky.social addressed the idea of more money, but he did not address that Musk caveated that promise with the phrase "Legitimate recipients." Who is seen as "legitimate"?

We have an entire culture of underachievers, who are pissed that their belief in the magic of their own talent didn’t get them where they wanted to go.

This is a must-read. Not just to understand what happened before 2016, but also to get an idea of how Israel and Gaza were weaponized to restore Trump to power. It may not have been Facebook - Musk was using direct messaging, deep fakes and Twitter - but they refined the tactics used in 2016.

An entire piece in the Atlantic about an entire book that says Democrats need to invest in positive government with only a passing mention that Joe Biden did just that, but journalists couldn’t give him credit. It can't happen overnight. @theatlantic.com @dkthomp.bsky.social

How’s that protest vote/non-vote going for ya?

What I learned from @maddow.msnbc.com “In other words, after all the propaganda against ‘Coastal Elites,’ we have just handed the government over to a bunch of men who think that they are so much better than the rest of us, they deserve to reorder and destroy our lives at their whim.”

All the Palestinians who stayed home of voted for Trump are now having their non-citizen friends and family targeted. Next it will be them, citizens or not. Hope the protest vote was with it.

10 Democrats thought it was more important to censure Al Green than it was to rail against yet another “youth pastor” using his position to sexually assault young people, or to warn the world that if European tourists come to the U.S. and visit Tijuana, they might be held in detention.

Per @maddow.msnbc.com calling Speaker Jeffries spineless last week, I suggest we all send a can of worms to all 10 of these Dems and the Speaker’s office.

The @nytimes.com actually ran this (old) picture with this headline. Took me two seconds to crop it so it was accurate. Why couldn’t Times photo editors do that?

The part of the press conference that the media is sharing fits dramatic structure so well, I wouldn't be surprised if Soprano's creator David Chase wrote it. I break it down, in five clips. (With the full press conference at the end.)

The full 5 minute takedown from @maddow.msnbc.com of the bad MSNBC decisions this weekend - but also about the cruel way it was done. This aired 2/24/25

More reps need to do this. @susielee.house.gov? @chrismurphyct.bsky.social?

Leadership takes courage. Unfortunately any coward can be elected.

Stuart worked on 5 Republican presidential campaigns.

This isn't scary at all.

@maddow.msnbc.com today reminded Gov. Kathy Hochul - and us - that she has the power to fire Eric Adams as Mayor of NYC. Given that Adams just agreed to be Trump’s bitch, no matter how many “constituents” are harmed, Hochul has to fire Adams to keep New Yorkers safe. She will also be seen as a hero.

I am not hearing any outrage from the Jewish community over this. Is it only bad when Jewish women are raped and set on fire? Doesn't "never again" mean never again for anyone? Including people in Africa?

“At 3 p.m., the Israeli police came to the two branches of the bookshop, searching for books with the Palestinian flag.” Although most of the books they confiscated were in English, “they didn’t know how to read English, so they used Google Translate to understand what the books were about.”

I realize this is what a lot of Chiefs fans are feeling right now. But I'm afraid that we will turn on each other. The moment we do that, we're doomed.

I'm hearing that Musk has purchased Super Bowl ads to spread disinformation about USAID. Musk is angry at the agency for opposing Apartheid in the 1990s, which cost his family. This is revenge. If you're at a party, please tell people this. I recommend this video about what USAID does.

Thursday's column from @hcrichardson.bsky.social has me terrified. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
